Underworld

In UNDERWORLD, a dark and Gothic monster action movie, vampires and lycans--an ancient form of werewolf--are at war. While the vampires inhabit a gigantic castle that houses their ancestors' tombs, the lycans live underground in a dilapidated sewer cave. Both teams are equipped with big guns, and they are constantly innovating deadlier bullets to gain advantage over each other. On the vampire side, the leather-clad death agent Selene (Kate Beckinsale) delegates teams of vampires to attack the lycans. But when she discovers that the lycans have kidnapped a human medical student, Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), she knows the worst is on its way. Against the orders of her superior, Kraven (Shane Brolly), who is obsessively in love with Selene, she awakens the most powerful vampire of all time, Viktor (Bill Nighy) and prepares for a massive feud against lycan leader Lucian (Michael Sheen).
Director Len Wiseman offers a tough, fast, and gory addition to the horror-fantasy genre with UNDERWORLD. Impressive special effects show the lycans transforming from humans to werewolves, and the lycans' ability to squeeze silver bullets out of their skin is also rudely fascinating. Beckinsale is captivating in the role of the lead vamp, with her leather corset, pouty expressions, and double-fisted pistols perfectly communicating the glam-action mood of the film.

- Absurdly posturing movie in which the acting is the only horror.

  Deeper than you might expect.
  
  'Vampires Vs Werewolves'
  
  Sounds at best like a comic book, at worst like a cheesy low budget, laughably bad piece of horror.

  Boring Copy
  
  Feels just like a copy of The Matrix during the action sequences.
  
  Very little depth, and a cliche love story, reminds me of Twilight, the less mature... read more »

Beckinsale denies Underworld reports
- 09 Sep 2009
Kate Beckinsale has dismissed reports she is set to sink her fangs into a fourth Underworld movie. The actress pulled out of the third installment of the vampire versus werewolves action movie, which was created by her husband, filmmaker Len Wiseman. Rumours last month (Aug09) suggested Beckinsale would reprise her role for Underworld 4: 3-D, which is set to hit cinemas in January, 2011. But Beckinsale had shot down the reports, insisting she won't return to the part for at least a decade -... Read more
